The search for an executive director for the Aurora House ended early this fall, as a candidate was hired. Jean Clearwater is new to both the position and the area but comes with lots of experience with helping women escape domestic violence and providing support.
“I’ve worked for many years with various organizations in this field before accepting this position with Aurora House,” said Aurora House Executive Director Jean Clearwater. “I started this position on October 1, and it was also my first introduction to The Pas. I moved from Teulon to The Pas for this position. The people here have been wonderfully welcoming and very friendly.”
Clearwater is all too familiar with the challenges that women facing domestic violence have when living in rural or northern areas. There just aren’t the resources that there are in the urban centres.
